B.E.S.T. Principles

The Balance Principle

A weighted formula that explicitly denotes holistic modeling and trade-off implications when confronted with constraints.

We create, monitor and evolve dashboards at three (3) levels:• Individual • Organizational • Community

The Equity Principle

A stewardship measurement that ensures a positive correlation between access, mobility and influence and the breadth and depth of an individual’s dreams, competence and discipline.

We utilize our proprietary evaluation tool to gauge the magnitude of fairness in proposed and completed trades.

The Sustainability Principle

A stewardship measurement that ensures one’s ability to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

We bring trusted energy and water data and innovative technologies to reduce costs and improve human well being.

The Transparency Principle

A stewardship measurement that denotes an individual or organization’s willingness to be open and honest with their intents and information.

As part of our proprietary tool to evaluate Equity, we include a T-Rating to quantify transparency in proposed and completed trades.
